USA will not be regarded as civilized before you have universal healthcare and abandon death sentences.
Heck even China are more civilized with their universal healthcare.
To be fair, China's Universal healthcare is not truly Universal, but at least even they are trying. The US isn't even trying.
Now Taiwan's National Health Insurance is something the US could take a serious look into. Zero wait times, high quality. $500 drug in the US will cost 1/10th the price here
I cannot even wrap my mind on why anyone would be criticized for saying this. I get corrupt Politicans in both major US Political Parties will say so, but why would some voters criticize this? I love our National Health Insurance in Taiwan/ROC and can't imagine life without it.
Housing, food, and higher education should be on that list as well. A healthy, well-fed, housed, and educated population is a productive population! Imagine not being tied to a job because of healthcare. Imagine no American going to bed hungry. Imagine the advancements in all industries. Imagine!
As a trans refugee facing daily struggles, I can attest that we need more leaders like Bernie who truly understand the fight for equality and dignity. Every voice matters
Healthcare from employment is obedience to the private sector for maintaining revenue streams for oligarchs and corporations
Non-profit Universal healthcare (eyes/teeth/body) will reduce healthcare costs, by simply ending the reliance for too much healthcare to be handled by ER's
